Great! Transparency!

This is a win-win-win thing. Spying, beyond a certain level, and that level is very small, and very very directed directional, hobbles(1) the evil adversary who uses it. At the same time, it actually co-opts(2) that part of the enemy intelligistium tied into the spying — it is a way of spreading fundamentals of American culture. The “transparency” is the third win.

At least these jakes are transparent to someone.
